Free image enhancer for iPhoto (or others).  To follow up on an earlier post here's an interactive Unix tutorial for folks with Mac OS X. [macscripting.com]

O'Reilly has put up part 4 of their Apache Web-Serving with Mac OS X articles, which ties in nicely with yesterday's Foxtrot cartoon.

Here's something both interesting and disturbing.  Remote scripting with IFRAME, which shows how to make a web page communicate with a server, without submitting the page.  sidetext.jpgIn other words as you fill in a webform and then, perhaps, change your mind about submitting such personal information, the server may already have the information you typed in.  A few weeks ago I decoded the javascript used by clickstream.com.  Essentially they've worked out a method with javascript and cookies to track what pages you see, how long you spend on each page, and where you go after viewing the pages...and it even works when you hit the forward/back button without going back to the server.

Y'all need to get used to the fact that web pages are no longer dumb text & picture windows.
